Hey nice sayings...its strange that all these sayings in all languages are almost the same... we have proverbs in our languages which gives almost the same meaning...:) thanks for sharing.
I can relate these with English too..
it means no matter.. if you clean your act or not.. a good thing will remain good and a bad thing will remain bad..
let me put it in this way..with an example
no matter how you cook your food with lots of butter in it.. if you add butter then it will become high calory food.. even you add butter on top.. or add it melted.. or add after smaring..
winner never quits and quitter never wins.. does it means that only one person will win all the time?
there is something called
London salon (near Jarir in Salwa)
Sehati Salon (on salwa road)
Before/After results will make you change your *saying* for sure =]
Normally washing the face makes it more bright after waking up.
its probably about the physical appearance... like if ure really unattractive, no matter what u do or wear, you'd still be unattractive. while the other one is vice versa...
The good one is good even if he did not wash his face and the bad one is bad even if he washed his face.
Can you please explain what dose good and bad has to do with washing face?
